COSY THEATRE

"STOLEN HOLIDAY." Moments of Bheer beauty contrasi vividly with monients of the tensest sort of dramatic suspense in "Stolcu Holiday^" starring Kay Francisfl which screens 'at the Cosy Theatre to-night. This time Miss Francis appears first as an obscure little mannequin in a tiny Parisian modiete shop, with ambitious to become the greatest coutouriere in the world. Wo Bee her progress from better to better things, until finally she has reached her goal. She dictates modes for all the world. She wears, of course, the most gorgeous of creations, which had the women in recent audicnces gasping in adruiration. What Kay herself doesn't wear is worn by sixtyodd mannequins, all tall and slender and professional, who furnished a treat for masculine as well as feminine eyea. But the Parisian girl's progress has not been easy. It has been aided largely through a rascally financier, Claude Eains, whose schemes finally tumble about his shoulders and cause political scandals in France and even street riots in Paris, such as we have read about recently. The romantio interest in "Stolen Holiday" is proved by Ian Hunter, the handsome young British actor who played in "The White Angel" with Miss Francis. He portrays a young English diplomat with whom the glamorous Kay falls in love.
